However I sometimes felt that newcomers like myself needed a much more basic approach to many of the things that were being taken for granted.<br /><br />The first 20 or so tutorials were specifically made to help migrants from Avid/Pinnacle Liquid. However, many of those contain tips that can be useful to any newcomers.</p>
<p>The two main points that I have learned since arriving here are:</p>
<p>1. Media Composer has many, many ways of achieving a given result. My tutorials usually show only 1 of them. Be flexible and experiment for yourself. Nothing is set in stone.</p>
<p>2. If you are coming from a different NLE family, try and leave your old workflows behind you.<br />Don&#39;t try and figure out how to emulate them in MC.<br />The sooner you begin to accept the MC way, the sooner you will get up to speed and discover its flexibility.<br />It took me only 14 days before I completely stopped using Liquid.</p>
